Day Trip from Alexandria Port to Abdeen Palace & Giza Pyramids
Overview
Fuul-Day Tour from Alexandria Port to Abdeen Palace & Giza Pyramids
A stop at Alexandria Port gives you the chance to see two of the most recognizable sites in Egypt in one day: the Giza Pyramids and the Abdeen Palace in Cairo. A good shore excursion from Alexandria to Cairo provides a great combination of the ancient wonders of the pharaohs and the modern grandeur of Egypt's royal history, an enjoyable fusion of culture and history, and adventure.
Highlights from Alexandria Port to Cairo
After meeting with the representative, the journey by car on to Cairo will offer as a contrast from the Mediterranean charm of Alexandria to the hustle and bustle of the capital. On the way, watch landscape scenes change from coastal to desert roads and finally to the beating heart of Cairo.
Discover the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx
The very first experience of your adventure in Egypt will be on the internationally renowned Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of the last remaining monuments of the ancient world's wonders. Khafre and Menkaure, in addition to Khufu, also have their unique stories and secrets. Your Egyptologist expert will excavate these amazing monuments, and will have many things to say about pyramid construction, pyramid history and the power of the pharaohs. A little further, the Great Sphinx with its mysterious smile has gazed over the desert for millennia collecting travelers along the way.
Abdeen Palace – A Glimpse of Royal Egypt
Moving out of the history created in the desert and away from chasing sand, this section of the tour enters Egyptian modern history with a stop at Abdeen Palace. Built in the 19th century, Abdeen Palace was the official residence of Egypt’s royal family and was later converted into presidential gardens. Its grand halls, chandeliers, and ornate decorated rooms reflect a different aspect of Egypt - royal prestige (and also architecture influenced by European design). The chance to tour some parts of the palace remains as museums providing glimpses into rare artifacts, gifts to Egypt from world leaders, and treasures from the royal collection. The minute one steps into the hallways, it is like the city has taken you back into moments from Cairo's glorious past.
Why This Tour is Unique
What makes this day trip from Alexandria Port truly unique is the juxtaposition of a morning spent at a site where the great pharaohs erected their eternal tombs and an afternoon spent walking through a palace that represented Egypt's modern monarchy; there are few organized tours covering such a broad span of Egyptian history in one day.
